You know, dealing with mages was hard enough before Mists, when they’d just portal-troll you by sending you to inconvenient, middle-of-nowhere locations.
Or when they’d summon 5-6 portals on top of one another and you’d have to click and see where you’d end up (Portal Roulette).
Or when they’d start casting you a portal, and then “accidentally” just Teleport themselves back to Orgrimmar, leaving the rest of you stuck in some wretched abyssal lair, miles from home.
But now it’s even WORSE! Now, they can magically whisk you away to high above the Ruins of Theramore, or (even higher) above Dalaran Crater! I know my raid has already fallen victim to the cruel pranks of our resident mage on multiple occasions, with startled cries of panic on Vent, including our bear tank who was so shocked he fell and splattered on the ground below before realizing he could have just hit flight form and survived.
MAGES.
PS: Sorry Horde players, we can’t actually portal people to Theramore. But we figured Aethas would know all the portals, considering his position. I mean, if there were any non-Alliance mages who were familiar with the Alliance ones, it’d be him, right?
Speaking of Aethas, keep your comments spoiler-free.
(For those curious how to get the Dalaran Crater portal, just kill Flameweaver Koegler in Scarlet Halls without letting him burn any books, and you can loot a book from the shelves after he’s dead that teaches you the portal. Mages only, of course. You can, however, simply do this on the low-level normal mode! Thanks Caluwen for the tip!)
Must finish levelling my mage!
Angry Jaina is adorable!
You can in fact get the book on normal Scarlet Halls. 😀
Oh, fantastic! I will update the post with this info! 😀
I honestly thought this was trolling, but I still sent my mage on a trip to Scarlet Halls. I then proceeded to mouse over ever square inch of bookshelf in that room until i found it.
To the doubters, it really does exist!
Dear other members of TSU TAIN GUU FAITAA (Rades’s Guild):
You guys are suckers. Keep blowing up my speakers for more cake; I’ll make it up to you later. Suckers.
Sincerely, Lyon (TTGF’s Mage)
Nice Jamie 😀
That’s excellent! I’ll have to collect that on mine.
I summoned my Stonard portal once while people were waiting for the one to go up to the top of Wyrmrest Temple in DS. The timing was perfect – I caught out a number of people 😛
